Solitary pleasures
BBC – Radio 4 Woman’s Hour -Solitary pleasures.
When are women happy on their own?
It is one of the last social faux pas: eating out alone, the cinema for one, or going to the theatre or a concert on your own. Yet flouting it is becoming more common. It is not unusual to find people enjoying a solitary drink or meal, or even escaping on holiday with just themselves for company. But a lone woman is often viewed differently to a man. The journalist Katherine Whitehorn and the writer Natasha Walters join Jenni to discuss their solitary pleasures, what women are comfortable doing on their own and how important is the choice.
Interesting discussion about a topic close to my heart. Very interesting point made that British women have only had the option of going to the pub alone for a short period of time and that in my countries women can’t go anywhere alone.
